Courtney is on there alot, I haven't got into avi buffalo's latest, though i I though his his debut showed loads of potential, in a sort of precocious way.


Blonde Redhead, King Creosote, Beach House, Allo' Darlin', Grouper, Jenny Lewis, New Pornographers and Neko Case (the last two are separate items rather than a tautological descriptor, along with a bit of a Durruti Column phase, all getting airplay whilst I toil at my desk, the atlantic beating down at my window.

The Courtney Barnett album is a little gem ain't it? Her laid back vocal delivery get's me all over.

It's a poor tool. Nowhere near accurate.


I scrobble to lastfm via Spotify and the 12 month lastfm list is very different and much nearer to what i'd expect. For example- Nick Cave is top of my Lastfm list by a distance but not even in the spotify top ten. Similarly with a couple of other artists.


Shame.

I've never really got on with Belle and Sebastian but am really enjoying this latest effort. I've tried to like the Decemberists- many times. I usually like earnest, pretentious bands but I can't listen to that geezer sing without wanting to harm innocents.

    • Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.  
    • Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.
    • There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.
    • I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
